Wafle House announced that it dropped the 50 cents per egg surcharge that the restaurant chain added in February, while egg prices rose after mismanagement of the bird flu due to the departing Biden administration in 2024 led to a shortage of eggs.
The news media, which trivialized Sky High inflation under the Biden administration, suddenly could not stop talking about the price of eggs as soon as President Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20. It only took a few months for Trump to deliver Biden’s blunder.
Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins released an update last week (extract):
The American Minister of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins today gave an update on the extensive, five-counting strategy of the US Department of Agriculture announced in February to combat very pathogenic Aviaire Influenza (HPAI). After achieving a record high due to the lack of action of the BIDEN administration, the wholesale size prices have now fallen 64%, with selling prices falling 27% earlier this year. We must remain diligent and egg farmers and producers can continue to use USDA resources to carry out biosafety assessments before the fall.
“When President Trump came in, the costs of eggs on a record-high, serious dents of consumers of consumers after years of terrible inflation. On my first day as a secretary, we started to implement a five-tooth strategy to improve the biosecurity on the farm and now that we are on the shelter of the Eggs’ Eggs. Biio -safety assessments have been carried out, resources remain available and we insist on poultry farmers of all shapes and sizes to have your reviews done today before a potentially challenging fall. “
Excerpt from an NPR report About the improving egg supply:
The peak in egg prizes was a challenge for Waffle House, which serves around 272 million eggs in a typical year. The chain-based chain operates more than 2,000 restaurants, and the 24-hour dinners are such a fixed value in the southeast that FEMA uses an informal “Waffle House Index” to measure hurricane damage.
The temporary egg allowance was his own kind of misery -index when the nation extended its frustration with running food prices. Other breakfast chains such as Denny’s also added allowances when eggs were scarce.
… The American Egg Board, which represents farmers, notes that the reinstalling of the egg supply of the nation will take time. From 1 June there were around 285 million chickens in eggs in the country. That drops more than 6% compared to a year ago, and almost 13% from the beginning of 2022, before the outbreak of bird flu started.
“The good news for egg lovers is that continuous recovery efforts by egg farmers, support from USDA and a decrease in new cases of bird flu have offered stability in both egg prices and the offer,” the board said in a statement. “Furthermore, the demand for eggs usually falls after Easter and in the summer months, making more eggs available in retail and supermarkets.”
In a post on X on Tuesday, Waffle House said that the surcharge was dropped a month ago on 2 June: “Egg-celling news … From 2 June the egg allowance is officially outside the menu. Thanks for the concept!”
